Harlow 2 1/2 years

Our sweet Harlow Louise is 2 1/2 today. She has sprouted 2 1/2 inches in 6 months and is 37 inches tall (85%) and 30 lbs (75%).  Two year old preschool is starting in two weeks. She knows how to count up to 7 (but then goes back to 2 ). She repeats EVERY phrase we say...it's scary how fast she picks them up. Her favorite thing recently is to hold one finger up and say "be right back" and then go to get something in another part of the house. She still wants to do everything herself, she can get pants, shorts, dresses, and her crocs on herself. She has really come around on her sister and likes having her around now and making her laugh and smile. We are working on being polite. She knows she is supposed to say "no thanks" instead of "nope" but she says "nope" and then grins and laughs and then changes it to "no thanks". At night we have been doing "butterfly kisses" and she came up with "butterfly hugs" I still can't really figure out what a "butterfly hug" is but then she says "regular hug" and gives me one before bed. She is the sweetest girl!
